Blaze Union and the Puddin' Head Schools
W. T. Kosmos
(Author)Description
A divided nation has a ludicrous new hope.
Epic teen adventure. Wry teacher narrator. Blistering satire.
Dear Reader,
If you are timid, gullible, or seeking a fluffy romance, please find another story. But for the brave and bold, get ready to dive into a world where divisive knuckleheads have plunged Island Nation Schools into unparalleled lunacy. Here, the rivalry between the Puddin' Heads and the Sweeties is an absolute madhouse.
Meet Blaze Union, a spirited fourteen-year-old Puddin' Head. She's been reprimanded for resisting MegaCorp book bans, survived spoon combat training, and faced the wrath of Sweeties. Expelled for playing soccer and guitar with "large" hands, Blaze has had enough.
Against all odds, Blaze becomes the Puddin' Heads' beacon of hope. Her nemesis? The "supreme" prime minister, a man with tiny hands and an insatiable appetite for division. But with nothing to lose, Blaze is determined to overhaul this crazy system.
If you've ever dreamed of challenging a ludicrous system, this is the epic journey for you. Catapult into a whirlwind of whackadoodle schools, sensational showdowns, and a quest for liberation like no other. And don't forget your spoon helmet-you're going to need it.
Spoons up! Heigi hooga!
W.T. Kosmos
